I was thinking, “Isn’t this ten years old?,” the other day while commenting. Glad to be on for about half of it. Keep it up, Edwin. This is where I go for book-related material. I glance at other places, but w/e… book-culture lost it years ago; twee and pretense. We differ at times, but that’s what it’s all about: Dialectics. Thanks for all the great material.

Happy belated birthday. I love the art you post, but especially lists of books to read, especially contemporary ones. Since graduating from grad school my reading has mostly been books considered classics because I didn’t know what else to read. I did my MA thesis on John Hawkes. The Lime Twig is wonderful.

Happy birthday! Just found your blog, so I’m a new reader. Since my blog is about my knitwear design, I am usually reading related blogs. But I love to read and am always on the lookout for good recommendations, so I am looking forward to reading yours from now on. :)

Moby Dick is such a great re-read, and I couldn’t help but notice Go Down, Moses on the top photo stack. I have that edition as well as the Modern Library and will be covering that one this fall–“Bear” is such a great story to read late fall.
